What is the Met Gala?

Since 1948, the Met Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York remains the most significant annual event as far as the fashion pledge drive is concerned.

The event happens every first Monday of May, which happened to be on 7th in 2018.

In a modern setting, the very famous names in the fields of film, music, fashion, and art join hands to raise funds for the Mets Costume Institute. Each year, the event is themed based on the new exhibition. The met Gala theme this year is Heavenly bodies: Fashion and the Catholic imaginations.

Anna Wintour, U.S Vogue editor-in-chief, continues to chair the event; a post she has filled since 1995. Part of her role is to select the event's co-chairs. Amal Clooney, Donatella Versace, and Rihanna co-chaired Met gala 2018, which marked its 70th anniversary.
